[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0021] This invention provides some embodiments of an integrated inductor-memory-computer device based on a floating-gate ferroelectric field-effect transistor with a two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure.

[0022] Traditional visual sensors face challenges such as insufficient transmission bandwidth, high power consumption, and low process compatibility, while novel two-dimensional materials exhibit better process adaptability and milder processing conditions. Breakthrough developments in two-dimensional material systems offer new insights into solving these long-standing technical challenges. Significant progress has been made in charge transport performance of novel semiconductor materials, with carrier mobility reaching remarkably high levels. Regarding ferroelectric property modulation, the subthreshold swing due to the negative capacitance effect is less than 60 mV / dec, significantly reducing polarization switching energy consumption and demonstrating extremely high energy efficiency. Of particular note is the superior photoelectric conversion capability exhibited by optoelectronic devices based on van der Waals heterostructures, providing an ideal platform for novel sensor-memory-computing integration. Although laboratory studies have confirmed the enormous potential of these materials, a significant gap remains between research results and industrial applications. Compared to mainstream commercially available products, novel sensor-memory-computing integrated devices have outstanding advantages in several core performance indicators, including a wider signal response range, faster response speed, and higher energy utilization efficiency. What is particularly valuable is that these performance improvements do not depend on manufacturing processes and can be achieved at relatively mature process nodes, which greatly enhances the practical value and industrialization prospects of the technology.

[0023] A thorough analysis of the fundamental limitations faced by existing technological approaches reveals that differences in material dimensions are one of the root causes. The interface defect density of three-dimensional ferroelectric materials generally exceeds 10-1. 12 / cm 2 Two-dimensional materials can be controlled within 10 10 / cm 2 In terms of physical limits, traditional FETs are constrained by the Boltzmann limit, making it difficult to break through the subthreshold swing of 60mV / dec, while ferroelectric modulation mechanisms offer the possibility of overcoming this limit. At the system architecture level, the inherent memory separation characteristics of the von Neumann architecture result in an energy efficiency ratio typically below 10 TOPS / W, while the integrated inductive-computing architecture promises to achieve ultra-high energy efficiency of 100+ TOPS / W. Overcoming these technological bottlenecks requires not only innovation in material systems but also fundamental changes at the levels of device physics and system architecture.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the inductive-memory-computing integrated device based on a two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure floating-gate ferroelectric field-effect transistor of the present invention includes: The gate electrode 6, the barrier layer 5, the ferroelectric layer 4, the tunneling layer 3, the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2, and the source / drain electrode 1 are stacked sequentially. The two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 has photoelectric response characteristics, and the tunneling layer 3 is configured to allow photogenerated carriers in the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 to tunnel to the ferroelectric layer 4. When the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 is towards the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2, the ferroelectric layer 4 has a negative photoconductivity effect; when the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 is away from the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2, the ferroelectric layer 4 has a positive photoconductivity effect.

[0025] Specifically, the device has a gate electrode 6 and source / drain electrodes 1, located on opposite sides of the device. The source / drain electrodes 1 include a source electrode and a drain electrode, both located on the same side of the device. A barrier layer 5 is configured to block charge carriers from entering the gate electrode 6. The barrier layer 5 serves as a gate dielectric layer, suppressing leakage current from the gate electrode 6. A ferroelectric layer 4 is configured to change its conductivity under illumination. The ferroelectric layer 4 has a polarization direction, which can be directed towards the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 or the tunneling layer 3, or towards the barrier layer 5. When the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 is directed towards the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 or the tunneling layer 3, the ferroelectric layer 4 exhibits a negative photoconductivity effect; under illumination, its conductivity decreases, and the conductivity is non-volatile. When the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 is directed towards the barrier layer 5, the ferroelectric layer 4 exhibits a positive photoconductivity effect; under illumination, its conductivity increases, and the conductivity is non-volatile. The tunneling layer 3 is configured to allow photogenerated carriers in the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 to tunnel to the ferroelectric layer 4. The two-dimensional semiconductor exhibits photoelectric response characteristics, enabling the sensing of optical signals. Under illumination, the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 generates carriers, which pass through the tunneling layer 3 to reach the ferroelectric layer 4, thus achieving the sensing and storage of optical signals. The two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 / tunneling layer 3 / ferroelectric layer 4 / barrier layer 5 form a two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure. Through atomically precise material stacking, photoelectric-ferroelectric multi-field synergistic control is achieved, enabling the fabrication of a biomimetic neuromorphic visual chip.

[0026] When the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 faces the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2, the ferroelectric layer 4 exhibits a negative photoconductivity effect. Under illumination, the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 generates photogenerated carriers, which tunnel into the ferroelectric layer 4. Because the conductivity of the ferroelectric layer 4 decreases under illumination, the current between the source and drain electrodes decreases. When the polarization direction of the ferroelectric layer 4 faces away from the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2, the ferroelectric layer 4 exhibits a positive photoconductivity effect. Under illumination, the two-dimensional semiconductor layer 2 generates photogenerated carriers, which tunnel into the ferroelectric layer 4. Because the conductivity of the ferroelectric layer 4 increases under illumination, the current between the source and drain electrodes increases.

[0027] Adjusting the voltage at gate electrode 6 can also change the resistance between the source and drain electrodes. Under a positive gate voltage, the device resistance changes from 10... 10 Ω decreased to 10 5 The resistance is Ω, and the change in resistance is non-volatile. Under negative gate voltage, the device resistance is 10 Ω.10 If Ω, then the switching ratio is 10. 5 Furthermore, the device's subthreshold swing can be as low as 60 mV / dec. The illumination input and the electrical input of the gate electrode 6 can be synergistically controlled.
